Online+Learning


 * Definition: Online Learning **
 * Online learning is when you use electronic media, information, and communication devices to help educate from a distance. It is sometimes also called E-learning because the learning takes place using technology.
 * Classroom Use: **
 * Online learning can be used in the classroom in many different ways. Sometimes learning can take place completely online and is becoming more and more popular, not with just college students, but high school and even elementary students as well. Online learning can be used in a classroom setting by having students complete tasks and assignments online at home by using websites like Edmodo or Haiku. Assessments could also be done online rather than in the classroom and sometimes foreign languages are taught using a computer-based program.
